Been with the franchise since day one and have been hooked. Last time I got a new rig was for BF2 6 years ago, since the new game is coming out I def need a completely new setup. Looking to spend about $2500 w/ monitor(s). Used to be on top of things but after looking through some posts realized I've been away for too long to understand what I truly need. Looking for something that will be able to play the game at high to highest settings, plus be relevant for 5-6 years with minimal upgrades (eg HDD, RAM)
Approximate Purchase Date: within a month
Budget Range: 2000+ w/o monitor
System Usage from Most to Least Important: BF3, movies/tv, internet, productivity
Parts Not Required: keyboard-mouse, speakers (5.1 cambridge from 6-7 years ago still working great but all analog - will upgrade if required)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: none
Country of Origin: US
Parts Preferences: Partial to Intel and Nvidia, (long personal history with no major issues but open to others)
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe - planning on a single monitor, anyone have any inklings on if 2-3 monitors will really make this game that much better?
Monitor Resolution: open to suggestions (also depends on single v multiple)
Additional Comments: Don't really care about looks, just performance. Don't need cool sounding things if they're not worth the $$ (SS HDD, liquid cooling)
Hope I'm not too vague. Thanks all in advance.
